Proper Voltage Built a Universal Battery Platform with Altium

Battery technology is evolving at an unprecedented pace—but every new chemistry brings added complexity for engineering teams. Proper Voltage set out to eliminate that friction by building a universal, chemistry‑agnostic battery platform that connects any battery to any product without redesigning hardware from scratch.
In this customer success story, discover how Proper Voltage partnered with Altium to accelerate high‑power battery development for next‑generation robotics. Working with Boston Dynamics and the Robotics and AI Institute, the team delivered a custom battery system that increased robot power availability by nearly 4× and reduced charge time from hours to just seven minutes.
Using Altium’s connected design solutions, Proper Voltage:

- Streamlined cross‑team collaboration with Altium Develop
- Accelerated design reviews using Web Viewer
- Improved sourcing insight and reduced risk with BOM Portal
- Kept ECAD and MCAD perfectly aligned with seamless Altium–Onshape integration

“Altium is that collaborative tool that helps all those teams centralize into one area where they can turn that fundamental engineering process into reality.”
— Charles Welch, CEO & Co‑Founder, Proper Voltage
